Ten till Five. The address was exactly to the point—not too dis. • cursive or too particular in its details—but rejoicing that they who presented it welcomed in their townsman a Minister and Statesman of renown. t The address from the Financial Reform Associa tion was too long, and touched on too many topics, ' to be generally popular. The assembly appeared anxious to come to its conclusion and hear the orator of the occasion. In some passages, indeed, the opinion of the audience was expressed in general terms of dissent. It was no wonder that such should have taken place when the address actually stated that it was much to be regretted that Mr. GLADSTONE had not retained the penny on the Income-tax which he took off this year; and, in stead of its remission, abolish the Corn-tax. Such a proposal could not have been popular ; and it is as well that so large and influential an assembly should have uttered a protest against it. The close of the address held out the hope that in honoured old age the CHANCELLOR might be able to say, "tot like the Roman EMPEROR, that he found our cities brick and left them marble, but that he found a fiscal code fraught with anomalies, oppression, and injustice, and substituted for it a just system of taxation, affording perfect freedom to trade." Mr. GLADSTONE'S reply was, for the most part, perfectly suitable to the occasion, and was charac terised with that clear and comprehensive style of which the right hon. gentleman is so great a master, and animated with that rhetorical display in which he is so skilled and proficient. First of all, his allusions to his early associations with Liverpool were very agreeable to the audience, and in this circumstance a peculiar and personal interest was imparted to the affair. There is always something particularly attractive in a dis tinguished person returning to his native scenes, but it is seldom that such an opportunity occurs, or at all events attended with such striking success, as that which has so brightly shone over Mr GLAD STONE'S ovation. The right hon. gentleman dwelt at some length upon the most important events of the last few years in which he has taken a leading part. The passage in which he alluded to the notions that prevailed relative to Protection was very effective, and disposed of the question in a de cided manner. He declared that the nations abroad believed that we had got rich by Protection, and now wanted to withhold them from enjoying the same advantages. Sach a doctrine was untrue in every sense. "Protection did not lead us to wealth, Protection had impeded and deferred our progress on the way to wealth." Mr GLADSTONE attributed great advantages to France having joined the cause of free-trade, and indeed went so far as to say that from her example he trusted that the other nations after her by "a certain chain of cause and consequence the final accession of every civilised Legislature and every civilised people to the principle which consecrates freedom of inter c3urse between man and man, between country and TdEATRE ROYAL.

Mr GLADSTONE was not so successful in his at tempts to favour the Bank Act of 1844, and indeed is would have been difficult for him to succeed in such a venture. Me had to admit that it had been followed by two periods in which no Ministry was ready to be responsible for maintaining the act in question. Mr GLADSTONE concluded his able address by pointing out the most striking characteristics of the age in which we live, and by urging on his hearers not to relax in their efforts, but to press on in the race that is set before them. Population and trade have not reached their limit in their present enormous growth. The right hor. gentleman rightly observed--" Have your dock yards reached their limit ? Has the extension of Liverpool reached its limit ? When I was a child its population was 100,000 ; now it has quadrupled its numbers." Looking forward in this spirit of enterprise there can be no reason to suppose that in future times the inhabitants of this land may not increase in wealth and prosperity even as they have in times past. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has done well and wisely in thus declaring that we mast look forward to faller results and greater achievements than any which have as yet crowded our cities with increase and covered our soil with plenty. It was very suitable for one in Mr GLAD. STONE'S position to dwell forcibly upon the inesti mable advantages that must accrue to us from the spread of commerce, and in giving this matter so much importance he but represented the great sub ject which engrosses so much of his attention, and bears affinity t) all lands and every class, direotly or indirectly. " Beyond, above, beneath, and around other questions is embraced the destiny of our time and the extension of those great laws of industry and exchange, which are a wider and larger ful filment of the beneficent design of the ALMIGHTY in giving different productions to different climates and countries of the earth." Mr. GLADSTONE enters fully into the true spirit and style of that extended communication which bears its blessings far and near, and removes the barriers that seem to separate those communities that are divided by mighty seas and extended lands. Com merce has been truly described as the crowning gift to a S rate, and it is twice blessed for him that gives and him that takes; " it brings to the frozen north the productions of the burning tropic, and makes the whole world contribute to the daily happiness of every home." It would have been impossible for the affair at Liverpool to have gone off more suc cessfully, and all parties connected with it will doubtless long look to it with pride and pleasure. Mr. GLADSTONE has received a tribute that does him honour, and must be regarded as one of the bright landmarks which seldom occur in the journey of life. Those who undergo the toils of an official life can well appreciate such reasons, and regard them as a counterpoise to the many un. satisfactory passages which th e mos t prosperous career must witness, and for which there is no bet ter alleviation than to meet with appreciation and sympathy. Taere is little room for Federal exultation over the news brought by the Persia. SHERIDAN'S conclusive victory and triumphant position have resolved themselves into a very awkward predica. went. We all know the old anecdote about catch ing a Tartar, and General SHERIDAN seems to be a modern illustration of it, except, indeed, that be goes a little further than tha story, since the Tartar has well nigh succeeded in silencing his complaints to his friends.

LONDON, SATURDAY, OUT. 15, 1864. -~-- -- The ceremony of presenting addresses to the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Thursday was a very brilliant affair, and universal satisfaction ap• peared to reign supreme. Mr GRAINGER, the Pre. eident of the Chamber of Commerce, made a very eloquent speech, which did him great honour, and lc " in •zvery respect worthy of the occasion.

THE ROSE. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER /5, 1864. the sth, was that he was at Harrisonburg " pre paring to drive Early from Brown's Gap." His cavalry had been destroying the bridges and rail. ways in the neigbourhood, and Richmond papers declared him retreating. There were not wanting rumours of sinister import in New York, which told that he had been defeated at Brown's Gap, and the latest intelligence brought by the Persia tells us that letters from his headquarters confirm the Confederate accounts. There is every reason to believe that such has been the case, for LONG STREET is sald to have joined EARLY with 20,000 men, and to have assumed the command. We may fancy the fresh vigour which would be infused into the army by so seasonable a reinforcement, while SHERIDAN will find more than his match in LONGSTREET. According to Confederate accounts the battle took place on the 26th, the very day on which LONGSTREET is said to have joined EARLY. We shall hear further details by the next mail, details which the Government will be very nu P 7 ling to communicate on the eve, as it were, of the election. But all their efforts and exaggerations cannot remove the distrust from the public mind, and we learn that in the absence of official intelligence from GRANT, Washington was filled with rumours of disaster. For this there is at pre sent no foundation, though sooner or later the tug of war must come. Even according to the New York accounts GRANT has made no progress, for they admit that attempts made by both divisions of the army to carry the second line of the Confede rate works had been " bloodily repulsed," and that the Confederate line of defences could not easily be carried. The reported proximity of the Federal gunboats to Mobile has been contradicted by Ad miral FARRAGIIT himself, while from SHERMAN and his force nothing whatever had been heard. It is no wonder therefore that the minds of men in the North were filled with anxiety and misgiving; and civil affairs are not likely to give them courage. The amount of the public debt announced on the 30th of September was 1,960,000,000 dols., and the Secretary of the Treasury was then advertising for a further loan of forty million dollars. A panic prevailed at Chiclgo, and large bank failures were taking place. What can be the result of such a state of things ? It must inevitably end in national bankruptcy if LINCOLN'S Presidency is renewed. For that the so-called Republicans are straining every nerve, and had gone so far as to suppress a leading Democratic journal. And so the war be tween the great contending portions in the State, as well as between the armies in tha field, goes on re• morselessly with a recklessness and a ferocity that nothing seems to check. When and how can the ❑ation retrace the steps which are now leading her to ruin ? Very recently the wise and good of all denomina, ,ens have seen an Irish city convulsed by a series of riots which disgraced the enlightenment'of the age. Within the last few days, however, another city in the same impulsive country has witnessed a demonstration of a very different character—one in which all ranks and all classes, English and Irish ; Protestant and Catholic, could heartily combine, setting aside for the time all local jealousies, sus pending all causes of dissension in the one common sentiment of gratitude and veneration. It would be strange, indeed, if the cow_trymen who owed him so much should fail to do honour to the memory of Father MATHEW, and, more especially, is such a tribute due by the citizens of Cork, among whose lanes and by ways he laboured for the greater part of his lifetime. It has long been their intention to erect a monument of this great bemeNetor of the poor, bat circumstances have delayed its execution. Now, however, the task is happily accomplished, and the calm benevolent features of the Apostle of Temperance, chiselled by the gifted hand of Mr FOLEY, now looks down upon tle finest site in the city. The enthusiasm manifested by the people on the occasion of the unveiling of the statue was something unusual even for Ireland. Streets and squares, quays and bridges, were thronged with eager spectators, while the procession included an array of trades and societies worthy of the metro polis itself. Flags and ban'ners floated on the air amid the gaily dressed procession, whose length was so great that it occupied nearly two hours in passing over a mile and a half. Perhaps the most gratifying feature in the affair was that, although the numbers of persons in the streets were calcu lated at 50,000, and although the residents of Cork declare the demonstration to have been unparalleled in its magnitude, not the slightest disturbance took place during the day. No policemen, it is said, were visible in the town, save at the platform, and even there th e i r presence, though desirable, was not necessary. \Ycmen of all ages were especially numerous in the crowd, present perhaps in grateful recollection of husbands or sons reclaimed by Father MATHEWS efforts, of wretched homes and neg lected families restored to peace and comfort by his unwearied exertions. The good work he did has not died away ; its effects yet linger among the people. Being dead, he yet speaketh to them of goodness. of temperance, of piety, of ch ar i ty, Rarely has it been granted to any single man to see so great results from his labours, rarely —more especially in that most difficult if most desirable work—the reclamation of the offender. But Father MATHEW'S earnestness carried all before him. Hi s voice broke the spell of degradation and despair, his hand snapped the chains of long-continued habit. How far teetotalism is to be accepted as a principle of universal application, and how far all the conversions effected stood the test of time and trial, are both questions open to discussion, but there can be no doubt that a great work was actually effected, that the tide of intemperance was stemmed, and that the fruits of the harvest then sown will be reaped in many a coming generation. That Father MATHEW'S public success was chequered by con siderable private embarrassment and anxiety is a fact well known and universally deplored, but it is given to none to escape altogether from disappoint ment and trial. Father MATHEW'S bounty during the terrible year of 1847 contributed greatly to the iuvoivement of his affairs, and produced those harassing difficulties which so greatly embittered the last years of his useful life, Oa all accounts, then, he has a claim to the grateful remembrance of his country, and the city which for nearly forty years witnessed his toils at the "Little Friary " is a fitting spot for its especial illustration. No more worthy speaker could have Leon found to deliver the address upon this interesting occasion than the talented Mayor of Cork, not only in right of his individual ability and his cfficial position, but as the friend and biographer of the apoi3tle of tempes ranee • It is no wonder, in reviewing the life spent in labour for the good of his fellows, in recalling the continuous exertion, the disinterestedness, the devo tion of this remarkable man, that the speaker should be filled with enthusiasm, that the cinickly stirred feelings of the crowd should find vehement demonstration. But such enthusiasm is not a mere passing fervour; it is significant o.f that reverence and af f ection for the really great and good which is so ennobling a part of human nature, and the ob ject of it was worthy of the sentiments evoked. In the words of Mr. MAGUIRE 'S eloquent address, •' The fight he fought was a great and noble one, and he died in harness. He died as a soldier of the Cross, with his armour on. Ha died amid the tears and the benedictions of all men, and upon his sainted grave no hand has flung aught but a flower, and no tongue has coupled his holy name with aught but a blessing or a prayer." Naval and Military Intelligence. Four 5} inch guns, manufactured for the Portuguese Government by the Blakely Ordnance Company, were yes terday proved at the Woolwich butt. They were fired with charges of 121 b of powder and 561 b shot, and the proof was satisfactory throughout.

By the arrival at Southampton of the mail steamer Seine from the 'West Indies advices have been received from that station which completely contradict the rumoured loss of her Majesty's paddle sloop Bulldog, 6, Captain 'Wake, between Bermuda and Halifax. The letter from the Sec retary to the Admiralty, published in The Sun of Wednes day, stated that the Bulldog sailed from Bermuda on Jamaica on the 14th of September, and advices by the Seine report that the Bulldog arrived at Jamaica on the 21st of September, and remained there when the mail left for England on the 24th.

Mysterious Death in the Green Park Last evening Mr Langhaw, deputy coroner for West : minster, held a protracted investigation at the Westminster Hospital into the circumstances of the death of Geo. King, who was supposed to have been murdered in the Green-park. The facts of the case .vere of a singularly mystericus cha racter. The deceased was a gasfitter, and on last Friday week, at four o'clock in the afternoon, he left a friend named Castell, to go across the Green Park, on his way home. At twenty minutes before five o'clock Police-constable INPFar lane, 618 A, found him lying on the ground. He got upon his feet, but fell heavily again, and then seemed to be dying. He was taken in a cab to St George's Hospital, whence he was conveyed to the station-house and locked up as being drunk. He partly recovered consciousness, but made no complaint of ill-usage. He was bailed next morning, and was after wards taken to the Westminster Hospital. Mr Charles St. Aubyn Hawker, house surgeon to West minster Hospital, said that ho saw the deceased on his being brought in. There were dreadful bruises on the top and back of his head, and on his back, chest, hands, abdomen, and legs., The skin of the shin was broken, and appeared to have been kicked or knocked away. He was quite insensible, A fall could not have caused the injuries ; they must have been inflicted either in a fight, or in an assault of a most brute character. He ded on Wednesday week, and then it was found that there was an extensive fracture of the temple, and that the lateral sinus of the brain was ruptured. This witness added that it waa impossible that one individual could have inflicted such injuries. The wounds on the legs appeared to have been the result of kicks ; those on the body were caused, to all appearance, by blows of the fist. Inspector Swanston of the A division, deposed that when the deceased was bailed out, at 8 o'clock, he observed no bruises on him. He could not, or did not speak, however, although he could stand and notice what was said. In half an hour he was carried into the Westminster Hospital, and then Mr St Aubyn Hawken saw him as described. Mr Jones, resident medical officer at George's Hospital, said that when the deceased was brought in on the Friday night he could observe no bruises on the face or hands. The body was not examined. He believed that the deceased was suffering from drink. He smelt strongly of liquor. For two hours he was insensible, and then he revived somewhat, and the police took him away. The Coroner—The witness Castell states that when the deceased set out to cross the park he complained of being queer, and said that it did not arise from drink, but from the effects of blowing down gas pipes. The witness said that the smell of drink was unmistak able. Witness found the deceased after death, and found the body covered with the marks of injuries described byMr Hawken. The fracture of the skull could have been caused by a fall or by a blow from a blunt instrument. Falls about the police cell might in his opinion have caused the injuries. Witness was sure that the deceased was not suffering from the fracture of the skull when he was brought into St. George's Hospital by the police. Mr S. G. Freeman, house surgeon at St. George's Hos pital, gave similar evidence. John HoHands, servant to Lieut-Colonel Paget, said that ho saw the deceased lying on the grass near Stafford House, on the evening of the 30th ult. There was a bruise or swelling on the right side of the forehead. A military gen- tleman said "it is a wonder he has not killed himself by a fall against the railings." The deceased seemed to witness as if he had been drinking beer. John Dobson, who bailed the deceased out of the King street station, said the deceased had then bruises on his head and hands.

The British, Columbian publishes the following account, received in August from the Governor's aide-de-camp, stat ing the result of an expedition into the interior of the coun try : " The New Westminster party soon came upon traces of Macdonald's men, the victims of the late massacre. Kegs of nails, boxes of carpenters' tools, gutted pack saddles broken agricultural implements were found in the bush, a musket shattered by a bullet, yeast tins, ropes, candles, and surcingles. Mr Brew's party followed up the traces of the long struggle of M'Donald's hopeless expedition. For several miles scattered evidences of white men's industry prepared the way for the scene of the conflict where the 42 horses with their pack-saddles became the property of the Indians. There a Siwash tomb of logs, pompously adorned with stakes and flags, showed that a Chilacoten chief had fallen under a bullet despatched in a dying effort by M'Donald. About fifteen yards from the tomb lsy the unburied body of the white man. The wolves had made sad havoc with it, stripped naked as it was, but the features were recognisable and the identity established. The corpse of Higgins, violently distorted, but well pre served, lay half a mile off, and a few hundred yards be yond that again the remains of M'Dougal. Dead horses in the last stage of decay lay upon the trail. Oct the fol lowing day the earthworks in which M'Donald and his party kept the Indians at bay were p eased. A couple of miles further Brew's party came upon the palisaded blockhouse of the Indians on the summit of a hill near Suttiko. The trees had been all cleared around, and the building loop holed ; and, as the works were capable of affording serious annoyance, permission was given to the volunteers to de stroy them. All the people of Suttiko were concerned in the last massacre, and there can be no risk of increasing the number of our enemies by destroying the building wherein, in all probability, the murder of M'llonald's party had been planned. The volunteers worked with energy at the task of destruction, but the dense masses of smoke which arose from the conflagration unfortunatelygave notice to the Indians of the approach of the party. A single signal shot was fired from the opposite side of the lake, and some hours after wards it was discovered that a camp of about a dozen huts had been hastily abandoned. The Indians were traced in the direction of Bute Inlet. . . . Benshee Lake was reached by the Now Westreinister party on the 6th of July. By degrees the Indians, who had kept aloof at first, began to familiarize themselves with the presence of the white force in the centre of the country, and finally Alexis, the Chilacoten chief, was induced to present himself to the Go vernor. He came on horseback with a considerable retinue. There was great embarrassment and some alarm in his manner at first, but by degrees both disappeared, and ho agreed to take active steps for the apprehension of the mur derers. The supply of provisions having become extremely low, it was a matter of regret to the Governor that the re • ception given to Alexis and his party was not of a liberal nature; on the 20th of July Mr Cox and his men returned to Banshee. Bat for the indefatigable exertions of the Bella Coola Indians in fishing, the New Westminster party would have been reduced to considerable straits for want of food. Mr Cox's party travelled far beyond Tatla Lake, and reached a country lying between the head waters of the Homatheco and Metneia Rivers, where they found evident traces of the Indian rebels having lately been in that part of the country. A melancholy incident attended the march in the death of Mr M'L - an, who, contrary to the wishes of Mr Cox, had gone in search of the natives, in company with a single Indian. Ile fell into an ambush and was shot through the heart. The Governor arrived at Alexandria on July 28th, Before his Excellency's departure from Benshee Lake, on the 25th, arrangements had been made by which the Alexandria party, Alexis and his followers, will proceed from the old Hudson's Bay fort down the Ch:lio River towards Tenet's position on the head waters of the Memeia. Mr Brew will approach, with probably only a portion of his force, the same spot of the country previously traversed by Mr Cox in which M'Lean fell. The faithful Bella Cools Chief and his few warriors attended on Mr Brew. The last intelligence from the Bella Coola River announces that the valley is crowded with Indians from the interior who wish for the re - establishment of peace. The Governor has availed himself of this favourable feeling to organise, without ad ditional 4xpense to the colony, a third party, consisting of a few New Westminster volunteers, ten marines, and some friendly Indians, who will, with every prospect of success, make a descent upon a valley not far from the Great Slide, in which it is known that several of the murderers of AlWonald's party are now hid," AMERICA. (FROM THE CORRESPONDENT OF THE TIMES.) (Per the Persia, via Cape Clear, Oct. 14.) NEW YORK, Oct. 4. The right and left wings of Grant's army retain, withou•' the slightest change, their respective posi tions of Friday. The Federal losses north of the James on Thurs day were between 2,000 and 3,000 ; among whom were Generals Ord. wounded; General Burnham, killed, and many staff and line officers. An equal number were lost in the conflicts to the south-west of Petersburg on Friday. A shell grazed General Meade's leg and buried itself in the ground in the midst of Generals Humphrey, Bartlot, and Griffin. Attempts by both divisions of the army to carry the second line of the Confederate works have been bloodily repulsed, and the Confederates have i❑ turn been driven back in their efforts to dislodge the Federals from the position gained. General Price continues his operations in Mis souri. Five thousand recruits from that State are asserted to have already joined him, and Federal conscripts hourly desert to his ranks. A portion of his forces are threatening Rolla. Nothing has been heard from the Pilot Knob garrison, under General Ewing, since its arrival at Harrison Station. No engagement with Rosecrans' force is yet reported. Mr Stanton states that nothing has been re ceived from Gen. Sherman for three days. Forrest officially reports that with Athens, Alas bama, he captured 7,300 prisoners, 2 cannon, many small arms, 2 trains of cars, loaded with stores, 500 horses, and 60 waggons. No later news from Sheridan. Confederate ac counts claim a victory over him at Brown's Gap on the 26th. Despatches from Admiral Farragut, received on the Ist, contradict the recent report of the proxi mity of the Federal gunboats to Mobile. OCT. 6, 9 a.m. In the absence of official intelligence from Grant, Washington yesterday was filled with rumours of disaster to his army% There was also a report that General Butler was killed in an engagement north of the James. Letters from Sheridan's headquarters confirm the Confederate accounts of the defeat of his force at Brown's Gap. On the 26th Lengstreet is asserted to have joined Eirly with 20,000 troops, and to have assumed the command. The Confederates have almost entire possession of Sheridan's communications. Nashville telegrams state that Forrest's force demands the surrender of Dalton, Georgia. Guerillas are operating on the Lt,uisville and Nashville Railway. On the night of the 33 they t.aptured and burned two trains near Fountain Head, 30 miles north of the latter city. General Hooker has replaced General Heintzel man in command of the Northern Department. His head quarters are at Cincinnati, The Crania arrived on Tuesday at midnight The Persia takes 93,000 dols in specie. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) (Per the Persia, via Crookhaven.) NEW YORK, Oct. 5, Morning. Further details of the operations of Grant's left on the southwest of Petersburg state that on Fri dsy the sth Corps and two divisions of the 9th Corps carried the first two lines of the Confederate defences, but advancing further a gap was formed between the sth and 9th Corps, through which the Confederates charged and flinked the 9th Corps, cApturing 2,000 prisoners. Ou Saturday the Federals advanced three quarters of a mile and intrenched themselves close to the Eouth side of the railroad. The Confederate mai❑ line of defences in Meade's front cannot easily ba carried. The Confederates were found in force behind the formidable defences on the Boynton road, over which they receive supplies by waggon. On Thursday the 10th and 18th Corps, under Birney, had crossed to the north side of tin James, and advanced towardsßichmond by theNewmarket road. The 10th Corps carried the Newmarket heights and advanced twc miles. They then assaulted the Laurelahill works, but were repulsed, and with drew to the junction of the Varian and Newmar ket roads. The 10th Corps lost 1,500 men, and a negro corps suffered severely. The 18th Corps drove the Confederates to Ctiappin's Bluff, which they captured after desperate fighting. On the following day the Confederates made several ineffec tual attempts to recapture the main position. They succeeded in retaking one redoubt near the river. A small Federal forca of infantry and cavalry pene trated into the inner line of works east of Richmond, meeting no resistance. Sheridan is at Harrisonburg preparing to drive Early from Brown's Gap. Sheridan's cavalry has visited Staunton and Waynesborough, and destroyed the bridges and railroad between those places. The Richmond papers declare Sheridan to be retreating. General Price, with a force estimated at 20,000, and 5,000 recruits taken in Missouri, is advancing on Rolla in three coiumns, the right under Shelby and Marmaduke, the left under Cooper, and the centre under his own personal command. No communication has yet been established with Ewing's forces, who has evacuated Pilot Knob. Price has burnt De Soto and destroyed the Iron Mountain Raiiroad. The Federals have concen trated in Jefferson city, which they are fortifying. Rosecrans has taken the field against Price. Admiral Farragnt is fortifying Fort Morgan.

E. Lee I'" M. DE CIIAILLU.—A letter dated Fernand-Vaz River, August 20, has been received from M. du Chaillu by Mr Henry Claudet, who taught the African traveller photography before he left England. M. du Chaillu states that in a few days he intended to start for the interior of the country, and that as he had a long journey before him he probably should not return to England for two years. He speaks hopefully, on the whole, of his prospects of securing a fine collection of African photographs, though he complains that he is terribly hot while shut up in the little box, in which he is obliged to operate, and says he does not feel quite well sometimes after operating. In another letter, addressed to Mr S. W. Silver, of Cornhill, M. du Chaillu says he has sent a batch of gorillas to the British Museum, and has also shipped a live one, which he sincerely hopes will reach London safely.

The Dutch Possessions in Java, Intelligence from Batavia announces that the Dutch are engaged in a war with the natives 1 0 Java, and that the fortress of Sintang, which wag only garrisoned by a handful of Dutcti and Java• nese soldiers, was surrounded by hosts of enemies , and could not be held much longer. Besides the troops,there were also in the fort the residents and many colonists with their families. The lieutenant' colonel i❑ command was making an heroic resis. tance, certain that all would be put to a cruel death should they fall into the hands of their foe. Every day the garrison was being diminished bi the fire from the enemy. Assistance had been sent for, and it was earnestly hoped that aid would arrive in time to prevent the massacre. One steam vessel which had rendered much service by her attacks on the Dyaks besieging Sintang bad been captured in the River Melawie by the Borneans and Javanese, though the crew had escaped after setting ire to her. At Djeneponto (Celebes) the natives had revolted because they were compelled to work on a road, and blood had been shed in the endeavour to reduce them to subjection.

The commissary of police unfortunately cast his suspicious eyes on the flower, and immediately drew up a report to superior authority, asking that the gardener should be punished for making a political demonstration I The Union de l'Ouest says :—"A recent letter from Orleans spoke of an interview which had just taken place between M. Dupanloup and the Duke de Per signy, but the person from whom we derived our informa tion knew nothing of the subject of their conversation. We are now informed that the Bishop of Orleans asked the Duke to intercede with the Emperor in favour of a request several times presented already by the Journal des Villes et Camyagnes, to obtain leave to be published daily instead of three times a week. M. de Persigny is said to have gra ciously promised his aid, and the journal in question, the observations of which relative to the treaty of the 15;11 September do not appear to us to differ sensibly from those of the France, is likely to obtain the realisation of its wishes." THE CORN CROP IN THE UNITED STATES.—Ia corn the crop in the New England States is fair, both in quantity and quality, being best in Massachusetts and poorest in Maine. The Western States have nearly all suffered slightly, but none so badly as New York, where the crop will fall between one half and two thirds below the average in quantity, with the quality poor. In Canada and Nova Scotia the quantity and quality range within one eighth of an average. Oa the whole the corn crop, which is one of the chief staples in our country, will aff,rd us more than enough for home consumption, with a liberal margin for exportation. The deficiency will not enhance pries to any considerable extent, and the prospects, as compared with the anticipations a few months since, are eminently satisfactory..--New ivrk ,sun.
